Temporal Cavity Solitons in a Laser-based Microcomb: A Path to a Self-Starting Pulsed Laser without Saturable Absorption

A. Cutrona, P. -H. Hanzard, M. Rowley +5

We theoretically present a design of self-starting operation of microcombs based on laser-cavity solitons in a system composed of a micro-resonator nested in and coupled to an ampl…
